What about Auditory Learners?

Do you have a student who prefers to process information through the auditory channel?

An auditory learner listens attentively to both the outer world and inner voices. S/he expresses what is heard through speaking, chanting, singing, making music, etc.

Your student may have an auditory learning preference if he or she:
-Learns and remembers things that are heard easily
-is naturally comfortable speaking in front of people
-uses detailed and organized vocabulary
-is more alert when speaking?

How do you connect with your auditory learner?

Comment and share your creative ideas!

Don't we all wish our students were 100% auditory learners! As teachers, we love to use words, and our words would be so much more effective if our students were always in tune with our verbal instruction. However, we get to be creative with our teaching strategies because we must learn to adapt to all learning preferences.
